UV layout is one of the most important
skills of the game modeler. Unlike high poly modeling, game
UVs are given limited texture space. It is important to use
that space in the most efficient manner, while minimizing seams
and distortion. How you project and arrange your UVs can greatly
impact the look of the model and the time it takes to paint
your textures. This lecture will cover the tools and techniques
necessary to create efficient UV maps.
Over 2 1/2 hours of lecture.
